Social media giants Twitter have released a new social media app, which caters to the live-streaming market. Find out more below.

The app known as Periscope is a live-streaming app which allows the user to watch or broadcast live video all over the world. It then saves the video stream for 24 hours, allowing anyone to view them within that timescale.

“It may sound crazy, but we wanted to build the closest thing to teleportation. While there are many ways to discover events and places, we realised there is no better way to experience a place right now than through live video. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but live video can take you someplace and show you around.” (Periscope)

To use the app, you will be required to have a Twitter account. The accounts work in collaboration, notifying you when someone you follow on Twitter broadcasts a video on Periscope. Sounds good and with the technological advances of internet, should work quite well. We hope!
